Greens

So I started some chard, kale, spinach and lettuce about a month ago.

Last weekend I moved the little seed starter pods into some containers inside at a kitchen window that gets the most direct sunlight in the house. I turned off the radiator underneath so they wouldn't bake.

Our beloved 3 year old pulled one spinach seedling. He received an incomprehensible, angry lecture about food being precious and a lengthy time out.

The others are not thriving, really. I suppose I can really only hope that they live to produce more quickly outdoors in a month than newly planted seeds. I think the soil is not as loose and well draining as they want and the plants know they are not in the great outdoors.

Foolish daydreams of fresh windowsill greens.
